I was curious if in VBA is there a way to switch in the page setup from Fit to X Page by X Page to the Scaling %.
I have set all my pages to fit 1 x 1 and would now like to know the scaling % (Zoom) of the sheets.
This might seem a strange type of Excel question.
Some "Clever" person decided to create a site plan using MS Excel. It has been done quite well tbh. The problem with Excel is that I am unable to set a custom page size as this plan sits nicely on a paper size I made ealier through using Word. Guess what there is a custom page size selection on Word but not Excel. Is there a walkaround for this ?
The only other way I can do this, is to print off 2 a4 landcape print out but the printer goes to the next page and leaves a nasty seperation.
The copy of Excel i have is 2003 sp3
I set up a spreadsheet for use by my colleagues, on an Acer 17 inch portable. My colleagues all use HP or Dell with 15 inch monitors (and different graphics cards to mine). They all complained that when they opened my sheet, the page breaks were all in the wrong place. When they fixed the breaks on their machines and I opened those file, the breaks were now in the wrong place on mine, but were all right on theirs.
I have now "upgraded" to a Toshiba 17 inch laptop, and find that my original spreadsheet done on the Acer 17 inch shows page breaks in the wrong place on my new machine.
Is this something to do with display adaptors? If so, does anyone know what I can do to standardise this across the board? (My boss uses a 20 inch screen, and the sheet for him is even more wildly out).
This part of my macro can be improved as it runs through over 100 sheets and takes a while?
Sheets.Select
For Each sh In Worksheets
With sh.PageSetup
.Zoom = False
.LeftFooter = "&F" & Chr(10) & "&A"
.CenterFooter = "&P of &N"
.RightFooter = "&D"
.FitToPagesWide = 1
.FitToPagesTall = 1
.LeftMargin = Application.InchesToPoints(0.15748031496063)
.RightMargin = Application.InchesToPoints(0.15748031496063)
.TopMargin = Application.InchesToPoints(0.393700787401575)
.BottomMargin = Application.InchesToPoints(0.354330708661417)
.HeaderMargin = Application.InchesToPoints(0.511811023622047)
.FooterMargin = Application.InchesToPoints(0.196850393700787)
.TopMargin = 1
.BottomMargin = 1
.Orientation = xlPortrait
End With
Next sh
I visited all of the sites listed in the various posts & downloaded the XLM function help file.
My question is which syntax would I use? I'm wanting to add this to an existing macro (one that currently takes FOREVER). I think syntax 1 for worksheets & macro sheets, but I'm adding to visual basic, so maybe syntax 3 for vb modules?
Here's my existing code, if anyone wants to help me change this to XLM4pageSetUp ..
Is it possible to protect against users changing the page setup?
View 2 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to copy page setup settings from one workbook to another in VBA?
Example, I have a spreadsheet with 5 tabs with each of them different page setup options.
I have a second spreadsheet with 5 tabs where I need to make the page setup the same for each tab as the saved spreadsheet #1.
Background: This is a workaround for not being able to do copy/paste special values for pivot tables. My workaround is to save an .xlsx as a .mht then reopen and save as .xlsx. The only problem is that I lose page setups through the process.
I've managed to clean up my code removing all of the selecting to get the macro to run faster but it seems to slow down when it gets to the page setup. Is it because of the ActiveSheet? Is there a better way to code the following?
View 10 Replies View RelatedOnce a week I need to export data to excel for a report. Some weeks there may be 30 rows and other weeks there may be 100 rows. I created a macro in the attached spreadsheet called 247 formattedV2 that seems to work fine except that it seems to get caught up in the Page Set up area. Here is the things that I have already in the macro that need to be accomplished.
1.All cells should be set to wrap text
2.Bottom justify text on row 1 for wrap text
3.Top justify all rows below it for wrap text
4.Adjust width of columns to exactly what is shown. If text runs over, it should wrap (shown in parenthesis)
5.Center all titles at the top of each column - show with grey background as indicated
6.Center text in columns A, B & C
7.Lighten grey cell in beteen each call (keep them in for all notes, they were accidently removed in this version)
8.Darken grey cell for column headers
Page setup: Set margins to narrow setting at .25 top, bottom, left, right. Set to landscape. Should be 1 page width, as many as necessary for height
Set for 8.5x14 paper (legal size)
Column Widths
•A - Last Call Date (w=10),
•B - Priority (w=7),.............

I have an 6 sheet excel workbook that generates 27 additional sheets upon an executed macro. I am trying to page setup the additonal 27 sheets only to a zoom of 90. Here is what I have so far but this zooms all 33 sheets.
HTML Sub zoom_2()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim wk As Worksheet
For Each wk In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
wk.Activate
With ActiveSheet.PageSetup
.zoom = 90 End With
Range("A1").Select
Next wk
Sheets("data").Activate
End Sub
I am testing some code to have my sheets print consistently on different computers. I have

but it still previews at more than 1 page wide. Any suggestions?

I want to also match the start dates to each invoice date, where the invoice date is every 7 days (on a weekly basis)
But, I'm looking to have the invoice date driven in accordance to the employees start date
I'm doing this for a friend, but i'm not sure exactly what he is looking for, and what I have to do in excel
Does he just want me to keep on filling out employee 5 to finish the process?
Or should I create a separate column for each employee for it to be more detailed?

I have a vba to do page set-up:
*Left, Top, Right, Bootom as 0.5
*Header and Footer as 0.2
Once vba is run page set-up is ok ie margins but when printed Left and right margins are not 0.5cm.
solve this mystery?
Code:
Sub Print_Format()
Dim myRange As String
myRange = Selection.Address
ActiveSheet.PageSetup.PrintArea = myRange
With ActiveSheet.PageSetup
[Code]...
I have data range which have three sections identical in shape and size.
How should i set the page setup so that each section print on a separate page.
My macro "prints" (saves) my sheet as Pdf-file.
I wish to improve this such as print/save is based on the active area I choose at the time.
Now I must hide a lot of columns (show only the ones I will print) before "printing":
Columns("A:Z").Select
ActiveSheet.PageSetup.PrintArea = "$A:$Z"
I just want to select some columns and set this range as a print.setup area.
I am trying to change the page set up setiings to fit to 1 page for 56 worksheets within a workbook.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI know you can predefine the level of zoom you want by using the ActiveWindow.Zoom control. I'm trying to find some code to Zoom in by a particular percentage. For example +10% zoom, so if you are currently on 90%, excel zooms to 100%, click again and then get a zoom of 110%.

Whats happening that I would like to know how to deal with is... as soon as you type a letter that is not in my lookup range it generates an error. "Could not get the list property - Invalid property array index". I don't want people to be able to add to the list, but I would like a msgbox to pop up. Then allow them to go back to the box and try again.

How do i change the default zoom that excel views documents? Whatever view the last person saved the file as it opens in that zoom. I want it to open 75% zoom no matter what anyone saved the files as.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have just run into the situation where some users, magically and overnight , have widescreen monitors. This means the screen designs for 4:3 monitors show way too much on 16:9 monitors. I would like to put a control button on the opening page that gives them a choice of zoom, which usually seems to be 100% and 135%.
I'm thinking probably an IF sequence to parse their response and execute the appropriate zoom. But how can I make it effective for all the sheets in a workbook?
When user close the file, I want to make sure certain sheets can zoom to 80%. How can this be done using VBA?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am looking for a way to have Excel zoom to 120% whenever any workbook is opened. (My boss has poor eye sight...)
I set up a simple Macro
Code:
Sub Auto_Open()
ActiveWindow.Zoom = 120
End Sub
but I get an error that says "Run-time error '91': Object Variable or With block variable not set.
I could need a code (WS code I assume) that open the sheet in 70% zoom every time I open that sheet. For now I get in 75% every time I open it. I guess that WS code will bypass that default setting, or bug, or what ever resets it 75%.
